Hm, I should look at that then. Might be difficult to figure out how, but it also might not. I should also try to do something for wscons like my 1.4T kmmux.... > Completely other solution, you may have a look at this: > http://www.kbdbabel.org/ Might be worth doing. It'd save me a serial port and let me use it as console; I dunno if that's worth the substantially more complicated electronics. (Sun 2/3/4/5 keyboards on a serial port need just level shifting; the protocol is vanilla serial, just with TTL voltage levels instead of RS232 voltage levels. Protocol conversion is significantly more elaborate.) > Strange that you call a Sun type 3 keyboard "good". They are one of > the most hideously keyboards I've come across. Keyboard taste is intensely personal. When I speak of the Sun type-3 as good, I mean, good for my use; I mean nothing more. Whether it's good for anyone else's use depends entirely on the person. (Actually, the type-3 is good in one other, person-independent, sense: the interface to it is very simple, both at the electrical level and at the protocol level. Contrast with the PS/2 interface which is a horrible error-prone botch designed, apparently, to save one wire on the cable - at least, I can't think of any other reason both directions' data would be wire-ORed together.) > Close to a DEC LK201. Good heavens, no. The LK201 is mushier, it loses the key to the right of right shift, it inserts a key between Z and left shift, it collapses what on a type-3 are \| and '~ into a single key, and it collapses the keys to the right of ]} and '" into a single key. It's also lacking three of the four bucky-bit keys on either side of the spacebar and it moved the keys to the left of the main letter keypad over to the right, so instead of the letter keypad being surrounded by extra keys, all the extra keys are off to the right. At least, that's what I see based on an LK201 and Sun type-3 I have handy. All of those are negatives for me. For someone who prefers the DEC way, I daresay, they'd be positives. I have are numerous other issues with the LK201, but they're all minor and/or fixable in software. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
